Proof if proof was needed that you're never too old to try something new. Just ask Frank Bowling or Takako Yamaguchi.

Bowling, a sprightly 91, is just about to exhibit for the first time in Brazil with 25 works going on display at the Sao Paulo Biennial, from September 6, including one finished just this year.

Over in Los Angeles, Japanese-born Yamaguchi has finally got her first solo show in the city she's called home since 1997.

Her trademark geometric seascapes can be seen at the Museum of Contemporary Art from tomorrow.

Asked what it is like to be an emerging artist at the age of 73, she told Cultured Magazine: "Any moment is, for me, an emerging time."

Almost 70 years after American artist Cy Twombly made Rome his home, his foundation has donated almost $40 million worth of work to the city.

The dozen works, one pastel sketch by Pablo Picasso and 11 of Twombly's own, have been given to the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art (GNAMC) along with $3 million to redevelop its restoration laboratory and establish scholarships in his name.

Twombly lived and worked in the Italian capital from 1957 until his death in the city in 2011.

The Times of London called him a "playful genius" while The Guardian's reviewer likened him to Pablo Picasso - it is fair to say if William Kentridge reads his reviews he will be happy with them.

His show, The Pull of Gravity, gathers more than 40 works in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the north of England and has even persuaded the critics to leave London to see it - and they are suitably impressed.

Writing in the Guardian, Jonathan Jones says Kentridge "lays claim" to Picasso's legacy of a "boundless flow of creativity".

The Times also invokes the spirit of Picasso and Joan Miro but concludes his own style is "unmistakable".

South African Kentridge, who has lived and worked in Johannesburg his whole life, is as well known for his film and performance work as his sculptures. After art school he studied theatre and mime in Paris.

Two films, 2015's More Sweetly Play the Dance and 2022's Oh To Believe In Another World, are shown in rotation in an immersive installation across seven screens spanning more than 20 meters.

When Vancouver Art Gallery CEO Anthony Kiendl quit the Canadian institution in March, it was described as an "amicable" parting of the ways. Things will probably be a lot less amicable for the 30 or so staff about to follow him out the door.

The gallery announced it is cutting at least a third of its staff as it struggles to balance its budget with losses of around $2 million in 2023-24 with more expected this financial year.

Jon Stovell, who chairs its board of trustees, said visitor numbers had "never really returned to pre-Covid attendance levels” and said the "whole sector" was struggling.

It comes after the gallery announced in December it was canceling plans for a new Herzog and de Meuron-designed building having already spent around $44 million on the project.

1 - New York photographer Marcia Resnick, whose camera captured artists from Joseph Beuys to Jean-Michel Basquiat, has died aged 74. Resnick, who was briefly married to MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, documented the music scene of the city in its punk heyday.

2 - Tributes have been paid to British Pop artist Peter Phillips who has died aged 86. Phillips, who trained at London's Royal College of Art alongside David Hockney, Pauline Boty and Allen Jones, traveled extensively before settling in Australia where his family run a gallery in what was his former studio on the Sunshine Coast, featuring many of his works.

3 - The Caravaggio show in Rome's Palazzo Barberini has been such a success, with more than 400,000 visitors, that it is being extended by a fortnight. The show will now stay open until July 20 but will lose one of its paintings, The Musicians, which has to be returned to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on July 9 because of a previously agreed commitment.
